Let's solve this addition problem. We have 5842 and 9204, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 2 & 4 in column 1 and get 6.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 4 & 0 in column 2 and get 4.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 2 in column 3 and get 10.
We'll write down the last digit 0 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 5 & 9 in column 4 and get 15.
We'll write down the last digit 5 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 5842 + 9204 = 15046.
